I could have gone with Santa Xmas Nightmare, a Time Waster where Kris Kringle battles zombies to save his reindeers. But that didn’t seem to be in the holiday spirit. Instead, I offer you a game called Snow Line.

Yes, it’s emulates Line Rider a bit, but it does have a Christmas twist and a few new elements. This game focuses less on creating works of art and looks more at goal-oriented gameplay.

In Snow Line, players have to get Santa from one end of the level to another while collecting gifts that hover in midair. The only way for him to travel is via players drawing a line, usually at an angle, so that St. Nick and his sled glide down easily.

There’s a heavy dose of the physics puzzle element as Santa shoots down makeshift hills and valleys. Players will have to take momentum into account as well as any obstacles. There are heat vents that block paths and whirlwinds that mean death. But these challenges are what make the game entertaining.

Play Time: With 12 levels, this game will keep you busy for at least a half-hour. Every level is different and introduces a new puzzle element. A lot of the game is trial and error, seeing how things work, but at the end of the day, you get a thrill when Santa grabs the presents and does his job safely. Merry Christmas folks.
